U.S. Army: Vanessa Guillen Died In Line Of Duty

The U.S. Army says Fort Hood solider Vanessa Guillen died in the line of duty.

On Tuesday, the Army statement said the determination is the result of its investigation into Guillen’s murder back in April at the hand of a fellow soldier who later took his own life.

The Army statement also says Vanessa’s family “is entitled to a variety of Army benefits for Vanessa’s service to our nation.” Guillen and her family are from Houston.
